Michelin Guide
"It just does not get any better than this... One of the city's most coveted locations."
Concierge

"Situated at Michigan Avenue, near North Side, this property is now officially part of the Ritz-Carlton chain. Similar to the Four Seasons here, this is one of the city's top addresses." Full review

Michelin Guide
"This hotel has the cottage look down pat, and the upbeat personality extends to the guestrooms."
Frommer's
"The Indigo is perfect for anyone looking for a cool (but not too edgy) alternative to the cookie-cutter business hotel." Full review
Concierge
"Part of a midpriced boutique chain launched by InterContinental Hotels, the Hotel Indigo has an exuberant Margaritaville-meets-Nantucket design theme."
Fodor's
"Even though this hotel caters to business travelers, there is something refreshingly noncorporate about its guest rooms and lobby, which is dressed in plucky blues and greens."
Travel + Leisure
"As soon as the blue-and-white sailor-striped décor begins to make you forget the city outside, the genius of the beach concept becomes apparent." Full review
Star Service

Gayot
"This member of the Indigo collection brings stylish, inexpensive chain lodging to the Windy City."
BlackBook
"It's tucked away on a quiet Gold Coast residential street, and that's exactly how they'd like to make you feel: at home."
